      GFS2: Fix bug trap and journaled data fsync · f1818529
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for
      the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after
      will succeed.
      
      Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case
      an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the
      bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and
      only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush
      is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail
      flush is run from ->go_sync()

      GFS2: Fix inode allocation error path · 40ac218f
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code
      path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must
      call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a
      later part of the process. This will always be the final iput
      since there will be no other references to the inode.
      
      Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will
      be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need
      to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order
      to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds
      a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly.

      GFS2: Make atime checks more efficient · 1d4ec642
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      We do not need to start a transaction unless the atime
      check has proved positive. Also if we are going to flush
      the complete ail list anyway, we might as well skip the
      writeback for this specific inode's metadata, since that
      will be done as part of the ail writeback process in an
      order offering potentially more efficient I/O.

      GFS2: Fix bug-trap in ail flush code · 75549186
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      The assert was being tested under the wrong lock, a
      legacy of the original code. Also, if it does trigger,
      the resulting information was not always a lot of help.
      
      This moves the patch under the correct lock and also
      prints out more useful information in tacking down the
      source of the problem.

      GFS2: Split data write & wait in fsync · 2f0264d5
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      Now that the data writing is part of fsync proper, we can split
      the waiting part out and do it later on. This reduces the
      number of waits that we do during fsync on average.
      
      There is also no need to take the i_mutex unless we are flushing
      metadata to disk, so we can move that to within the metadata
      flushing code.

      GFS2: Clean up dir hash table reading · 4c28d338
      Steven Whitehouse authored
      Since there is now only a single caller to gfs2_dir_read_data()
      and it has a number of constant arguments, we can factor
      those out. Also some tests relating to the inode size were
      being done twice.

      mm: fix race between mremap and removing migration entry · 486cf46f
      Hugh Dickins authored
      I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "? " addresses in
      stack backtraces, but this lucky report from Pawel Sikora hints that
      mremap's move_ptes() has inadequate locking against page migration.
      
       3.0 BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page():
       kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105!
       RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81127b76>]  [<ffffffff81127b76>]
                             migration_entry_wait+0x156/0x160
        [<ffffffff811016a1>] handle_pte_fault+0xae1/0xaf0
        [<ffffffff810feee2>] ? __pte_alloc+0x42/0x120

        [<ffffffff81102a31>] handle_mm_fault+0x181/0x310
        [<ffffffff81106097>] ? vma_adjust+0x537/0x570
        [<ffffffff81424bed>] do_page_fault+0x11d/0x4e0
        [<ffffffff81109a05>] ? do_mremap+0x2d5/0x570
        [<ffffffff81421d5f>] page_fault+0x1f/0x30
      
      mremap's down_write of mmap_sem, together with i_mmap_mutex or lock,
      and pagetable locks, were good enough before page migration (with its
      requirement that every migration entry be found) came in, and enough
      while migration always held mmap_sem; but not enough nowadays, when
      there's memory hotremove and compaction.
      
      The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around
      behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when
      looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old.
      
      Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or
      migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry()
      before it takes pagetable lock.
      
      Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration
      than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.
